According to an interview with Acclaim CEO Greg Fischbach conducted by trade-paper MCV, the company will support Nintendo's next-generation console with multiple titles in the year 2001. More specifically, commented Fischbach, "We are planning to have our titles for PlayStation 2 available next year and our titles for Dolphin ready in August or September of 2001."

The fact that Acclaim -- a company known to jump on next-generation consoles early with launch-ready software -- is planning for a late 2001 Dolphin debut further suggests that Nintendo's machine won't meet its projected 2000 release date. After all, if one of Nintendo 64's most popular third-party contributors isn't planning for Dolphin until 2001, what company is?
